The opportunities and limits of open science for LGBTIQ+ research

AbstractThe open science (OS) movement has the potential to fundamentally shape how researchers conduct research and distribute findings. However, the implications for research on lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, and queer/questioning (LGBTIQ+) experiences present unique considerations. In this paper, included in the special issue on Reimagining LGBTIQ+ Research, we explore how the OS movement broadens access to and comprehension of LGBTIQ+ experiences while simultaneously imposing limitations on the representation of these identities and raising concerns about risks to LGBTIQ+ researchers and participants. Our research focuses on three facets of the OS movement. First, we examine practices related to open data, which advocates that data should be accessible to other researchers to analyze. Yet, providing access to such data challenges may compromise trust between the research team and study participants. Second, we examine practices related to open replicable research, particularly as it has the potential to both highlight and erase the experiences of groups within the LGBTIQ+ community. Finally, we consider how open access, making scholarly articles free to the public, may help educate a broader audience on the lived experiences of LGBTIQ+ people, but in regions where these identities remain heavily stigmatized and/or criminalized, access may be blocked or individuals could be penalized for retrieving this information.

Impact of Team Sports Participation on Social Skills Development in Youth

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the impact of team sports participation on social skills development in youth. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: The study indicated that engaging in team sports fosters various interpersonal skills such as communication, cooperation, and conflict resolution. These activities provide a structured environment where young individuals learn to work collaboratively towards common goals, enhancing their ability to function within a group. Team sports also offer opportunities for social interaction and bonding, which can improve self-esteem and the ability to form meaningful relationships. Additionally, the need to adhere to rules and respect teammates and opponents promotes discipline and ethical behavior. Overall, participation in team sports is associated with improved social competence, making it a valuable tool for social development in y Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social learning theory, social identity theory and constructivist learning theory may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the impact of team sports participation on social skills development in youth. Coaches and sports organizations should develop structured training programs that specifically include social skills training. Policymakers should support and fund community sports programs that emphasize team participation as a means to develop social skills.

Modeling perceived information needs in human-AI teams: improving AI teammate utility and driving team cognition

ABSTRACT As AI technologies advance, teams are beginning to see AI transition from a tool to a full-fledged teammate. Introducing an AI teammate brings several challenges, ranging from how human teammates perceive their new AI teammates from an affective standpoint to how AI should engage in the various teaming behaviors that make up effective teamwork. The current study used a mixed factorial survey and structural equation modeling to assess how participants in hypothetical human-AI teams respond to various forms of AI information-sharing, including information related to explainability, back-up behavior, situational awareness, and augmenting team memory. The study's results found that AI design features related to situational awareness and augmenting the teams' memory had the strongest effect on participants' attitudes and perceived team cognition with their teammates. However, much of this effect was mediated by participants' affective attitudes towards the AI as a teammate, with higher ratings leading directly to higher levels of perceived team cognition constructs. These results highlight the importance of fostering positive attitudes towards AI teammates, such as trust and cohesion in human-AI teams, to support the development of effective team cognition and the ability of AI information-sharing to bring about such positive impacts.

Pediatric Sedation Assessment and Management System (PSAMS) for Pediatric Sedation in China: Development and Implementation Report.

Recently, the growing demand for pediatric sedation services outside the operating room has imposed a heavy burden on pediatric centers in China. There is an urgent need to develop a novel system for improved sedation services. This study aimed to develop and implement a computerized system, the Pediatric Sedation Assessment and Management System (PSAMS), to streamline pediatric sedation services at a major children's hospital in Southwest China. PSAMS was designed to reflect the actual workflow of pediatric sedation. It consists of 3 main components: server-hosted software; client applications on tablets and computers; and specialized devices like gun-type scanners, desktop label printers, and pulse oximeters. With the participation of a multidisciplinary team, PSAMS was developed and refined during its application in the sedation process. This study analyzed data from the first 2 years after the system's deployment. From January 2020 to December 2021, a total of 127,325 sedations were performed on 85,281 patients using the PSAMS database. Besides basic variables imported from Hospital Information Systems (HIS), the PSAMS database currently contains 33 additional variables that capture comprehensive information from presedation assessment to postprocedural recovery. The recorded data from PSAMS indicates a one-time sedation success rate of 97.1% (50,752/52,282) in 2020 and 97.5% (73,184/75,043) in 2021. The observed adverse events rate was 3.5% (95% CI 3.4%-3.7%) in 2020 and 2.8% (95% CI 2.7%-2.9%) in 2021. PSAMS streamlined the entire sedation workflow, reduced the burden of data collection, and laid a foundation for future cooperation of multiple pediatric health care centers.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Ruptures in Russian Premier League Soccer Players During the 2010 to 2021/2022 Competitive Seasons: The Epidemiology and Details of Return to Sports.

There are limited data on the epidemiology of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures in elite adult soccer players, especially in the Russian Premier League (RPL). There is an increased risk of injury due to a combination of additional risk factors such as playing in extremely high and low temperatures, frequent long flights, and regular play on natural and artificial surfaces. To study the epidemiology of ACL ruptures and determine the patterns associated with their occurrence in RPL soccer players. Descriptive epidemiology study. All ACL ruptures requiring surgery sustained by players competing in the RPL across 12 competitive seasons between 2010 and 2022 were analyzed. All required data were collected from media analysis and confirmed by club doctors. A total of 85 players sustained 100 injuries during 12 competitive seasons. A total of 96.5% of players returned to competitive play. The injury incidence in RPL and during participation of RPL teams in European Cups were 0.4760 and 0.5622 per 1000 playing hours, respectively. When analyzing the outcomes of the primary ACL surgery (a total of 76 operations), the following data were obtained: in 11 cases (14.5%), there was a reinjury on the ipsilateral knee joint and in 4 cases (5.3%) on the contralateral knee joint. The mean return-to-play time after all operations was 284 ± 116 days. The time of return to play after primary reconstruction was 289 ± 136 days, 278 ± 91 days after reconstruction on the contralateral knee and 271 ± 51.5 days after the first ACL revision reconstruction on the ipsilateral knee joints. RPL ACL injury epidemiology is similar to that in the other leagues from around the world, although there are factors that can potentially influence the number of these injuries.

Expert Consensus on the Management of Adverse Events of Lorlatinib in the Treatment of ALK+ Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

The use of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as lorlatinib, for the treatment of patients with ALK gene rearrangement (or ALK-positive) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been shown to improve the overall survival and quality of life of these patients. However, lorlatinib is not exempt from potential adverse events. Adequate monitoring and management of these adverse events are critical for increasing patient adherence to lorlatinib, thereby maximizing the benefits of treatment and minimizing the risks associated with treatment discontinuation. Considering that the adverse events of lorlatinib can affect different organs and systems, the participation of a multidisciplinary team, including cardiologists, neurologists, internal medicine specialists, and oncology pharmacists, is needed. This article presents specific and pragmatic strategies for identifying and treating the most relevant adverse events associated with lorlatinib in patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC based on the clinical experience of a multidisciplinary panel of experts.

Navigating the Challenges in Setting Up a Sustainable Open-Heart Surgery Unit in a Resource-Constrained Environment in Northern Nigeria: Model and Strategies.

Cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass had been unavailable in Northern Nigeria and the federal capital territory of Nigeria regularly. Several attempts in the past at setting up this service in a self-sustaining manner in Northern Nigeria had failed. This paper is a contrasting response to an earlier publication that emphasized the less-than-desirable role played by international cardiac surgery missions in the evolution of a sustainable open-heart surgery program in Nigeria. The cardiothoracic unit of Federal Medical Centre, Abuja, was established on March 1, 2021, but could not conduct safe open-heart surgery. The model and strategies employed in commencing open-heart surgeries, including the choice of personnel training within the country and focused collaboration with foreign missions, are discussed. We also report the first seven patients to undergo cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass in our government-run hospital as well as the transition from foreign missions to local team operations. Seven patients were operated on within the first six months of setting up with high levels of skill transfer and local team participation, culminating in one of the operations entirely carried out by the local team of personnel. All outcomes were good at an average of one-year follow-up. In resource-constrained government-run hospitals, a functional, safe cardiac surgery unit can be set up by implementing well-planned strategies to mitigate encountered peculiar challenges. Furthermore, with properly harnessed foreign missions, a prior-trained local team of personnel can achieve independence and become a self-sustaining cardiac surgery unit within the shortest possible time.

Mapping Evidence in Teaching Palliative Care in Undergraduate Curriculum of Healthcare Professionals Qualification: A Systematic Scoping Review Protocol.

Clinical Practice Guidelines recommend interprofessional collaboration in palliative care. However, healthcare profession educators lack clear curricular guidance, particularly for undergraduate programs, to adequately train future professionals for effective participation in such teams. This systematic scoping review protocol aims to address this gap by: (i) mapping evidence on key characteristics of teaching palliative and end-of-life (EOL) care to undergraduate healthcare and social care students, and (ii) identifying the nature and effectiveness of educational interventions for improving palliative care education in the undergraduate curriculum. The protocol adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocol Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-P-ScR) guidelines, while the proposed systematic scoping review study will be conducted based on methods and steps identified by Arksey and O'Malley and experts in the field. We will conduct systematic searches across five EBSCOhost databases using relevant search terms. Additionally, a limited grey literature search will be conducted on the first 100 results of Google Scholar and Open-Grey. The selection process will follow PRISMA-Extension for Scoping Reviews. Two independent reviewers will screen titles and abstracts for eligibility. Data extraction will be done on standardized forms in duplicate with cross-checking by a third reviewer. Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis approach, combining thematic and directed content analysis, will be employed for analysis. Intervention effectiveness will be narratively summarized based on the TIDieR checklist. Meta-analysis will be considered if applicable and data is homogeneous. Palliative care education (PCE) is a crucial element of undergraduate health professions education. This study's findings may aid educators in fostering optimal learning among healthcare students, who can then positively influence community health outcomes. The protocol was submitted for ethical clearance to the University of KwaZulu-Natal's Biomedical Research Ethics Committee and granted exemption from ethics review (00024289). We will disseminate findings through scientific journal publication and by sharing a summary with relevant institutions and attendees at health promotion and interprofessional education conferences.

Co-designing discharge communication interventions for mental health visits to the pediatric emergency department: a mixed-methods study

BackgroundDischarge communication is essential to convey information regarding the care provided and follow-up plans after a visit to a hospital emergency department (ED), but it can be lacking for visits for pediatric mental health crises. Our objective was to co-design and conduct usability testing of new discharge communication interventions to improve pediatric mental health discharge communication.MethodsThe study was conducted in two phases using experience-based co-design (EBCD). In phase 1 (Sep 2021 to Jan 2022), five meetings were conducted with a team of six parents and two clinicians to co-design new ED discharge communication interventions for pediatric mental health care. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns in team discussions and participant feedback related to discharge communication improvement and the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behavior (COM-B) model was used to identify strategies to support the delivery of the new interventions. After meeting five, team members completed the Public and Patient Engagement Evaluation Tool (PPEET) to evaluate the co-design experience. In phase 2 (Apr to Jul 2022), intervention usability and satisfaction were evaluated by a new group of parents, youth aged 16–24 years, ED physicians, and nurses (n = 2 of each). Thematic analysis was used to identify usability issues and a validated 5-point Likert survey was used to evaluate user satisfaction. Evaluation results were used by the co-design team to finalize the interventions and delivery strategies.ResultsTwo discharge communication interventions were created: a brochure for families and clinicians to use during the ED visit, and a text-messaging system for families after the visit. There was high satisfaction with engagement in phase 1 (overall mean PPEET score, 4.5/5). In phase 2, user satisfaction was high (mean clinician score, 4.4/5; mean caregiver/youth score, 4.1/5) with both interventions. Usability feedback included in the final intervention versions included instructions on intervention use and ensuring the text-messaging system activates within 12–24 h of discharge.ConclusionsThe interventions produced by this co-design initiative have the potential to address gaps in current discharge practices. Future testing is required to evaluate the impact on patients, caregivers, and health care system use after the ED visit.

How gaming team participation fosters consumers’ social networks, communication and commitment

Online games are highly popular computer applications that generate enormous profits for companies that produce games. Online players actively participate and interact in gaming teams, but there is no study on how team participation leads to a commitment to gaming teams. Research that aims to fill this gap could elucidate practical solutions to strengthening the players' team commitment, contributing to the understanding of player behavior. Grounded in social capital theory and social exchange theory, in this paper a research model is developed, featuring an association between players' participation and players' team commitment. The data were gathered from 1352 online players, and structural equation modelling was employed as the data analysis technique. The results indicate that team participation is positively linked to network convergence and interdependence. They are, in turn, positively linked to social interaction and social presence, which significantly enhance the players' team commitment. We also find that, compared with social interaction, social presence has a stronger influence on such commitments. The research findings suggest that the game providers should encourage players to participate in gaming teams, thus strengthening the players’ team commitment.

OPTIMIZING THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF TODDLERS THROUGH EMPOWERING CADRES AND MOTHERS OF TODDLERS WITH ASIKIA ACTIVITIES

The toddler period is a vulnerable time, especially with regard to growth, as it can affect the development of children in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to intervene to increase the interaction of health professionals with parents to have a positive impact on child development. The Maternal and Child Health Information Sharing Agenda (ASIKIA) is an activity carried out in an effort to empower the community, especially cadres and mothers of toddlers in optimizing the growth and development of infants and toddlers. Community empowerment activities were carried out through cadre mentoring activities on March 14, 2023 and toddler mother class activities on March 16, 2023. The empowerment model used is Unlimited Totality Health Empowerement (UTHE) which uses several kinds of models in activities in the form of lectures, group discussions, demonstrations and discussions. The activities carried out proved to be able to increase the knowledge of cadres about stimulation of growth and development of toddlers as shown by the results of the pre-test and post-test where before being given counseling, cadre knowledge in the good category was 50% and after being given counseling cadre knowledge increased to the good category as much as 88%. Likewise, the knowledge of mothers of toddlers about stunting showed results before being given counseling, the knowledge of mothers of toddlers in the good category was 17% and after being given counseling, the knowledge of mothers of toddlers increased to the good category by 100%. In addition, the success of the activity is also indicated by the ability of cadres to correctly assess child development using the "SIP (Developmental Stimulation) Bag" media. ASIKIA can be used as a means of sharing knowledge and active discussion between the service team and activity participants on various maternal and child health issues.

Ethical Considerations in Co-Authoring Research with Music Therapy Stakeholders

Abstract While stakeholders provide invaluable perspectives about music therapy, particularly through the lens of their expertise as participants in music therapy encounters, their perspectives are rarely amplified in the context of full participation in research teams. In support of stakeholder participation in music therapy research, this article introduces and explores ethical considerations related to co-authorship. These ethical considerations are approached in three ways: (1) describing how co-authorship has been undertaken with music therapy stakeholders, specifically disabled children and adults, in a range of contexts, (2) Identifying ethical considerations related to our team’s own research project (Devlin, K., Johnston, M., & Johnston, C. [2024]. Making mistakes together: therapy participant, parent, and therapist perspectives on music therapy in two different settings. Music Therapy Perspectives) with two coauthors who are also stakeholders, and (3) providing guidelines for music therapists interested in coauthoring research with stakeholders. In doing so, the importance of co-authorship as an accessible, equitable research practice is emphasized. Plain language abstract This article is about planning, doing, and writing research with people who are usually studied in music therapy research. We call this co-research. We talk about: How to keep people safe How to make decisions together How to work and write as a team If we should use our real names

Sverdlovsk esports student league - reserve of the Sverdlovsk region national team

Relevance. The first official competitions of the Sverdlovsk region in computer sports were the 2019 Sverdlovsk Region Cup in computer sports. Teams consisting of 5 people were allowed to participate in competitions in the Combat Arena discipline, in the form of the DOTA2 program. 8 teams took part in the competition, and 3 teams in full were the teams of Yekaterinburg universities. This is a very important point, since without the participation of university teams, athletes of the Sverdlovsk region would not be able to meet the discharge standards, since in accordance with the requirements of the Unified All-Russian Sports Classification (hereinafter EVSK) for the sport of computer sports, at least 6 teams are required to perform discharge standards.The purpose of the study was to quantify such a trend of mass sports as student computer sports. Methods and organization of the study: as a result of the analysis of data on the composition of the teams participating in the Sverdlovsk Region Cup (hereinafter CSR) in computer sports in 2019-2023 according to the combat arena discipline, in the form of the DOTA2 program and the identification among them of the national teams of educational institutions participating in the Sverdlovsk esports Student League, as well as the data are compared with the number of participating teams SCSL in the specified program type.The results of the study and their discussion. Low motivation of athletes remains among the main problems in student computer sports, as well as high-achievement computer sports. Not all gamers are esports players. By participating in competitions, they try to become them, but the goal of a gamer is to enjoy video games. And the main motivation of a gamer when entering computer sports is the desire to earn income in the form of cash prizes.Conclusions. To increase motivation, the following solutions are possible: Divide the WKSL into two parallel tournaments for university and university students. To supplement the current EVSC in computer sports with the possibility of fulfilling the discharge standards for the winners of regional physical education events.

Palliative care at the end of life and the role of the psychologist

Mallampati, Orotracheal intubation, Modifications.Palliative care (PC) is defined as care for patients diagnosed with progressive, incurable and/or chronic-degenerative diseases, and can cover any life-threatening illness that culminates in finitude. Therefore, PC aims to ease the pain and relieve the suffering of invasive treatments by providing dignity, comfort and welcome to improve the quality of life of patients diagnosed with incurable diseases; this care can also include the individual's family members and caregivers, providing them with welcome, assistance and support to deal with the issues arising from the progression of the disease. Thus, the aim of this study is to describe the participation of the multi-professional team in PC, the patient and their family, i.e. all those involved in this process of becoming ill until the end of life, and in particular to investigate how psychology works in caring for the patient, the family/caregiver and the healthcare team. This study used the literature review method. This bibliographic review selected 27 scientific articles, 02 books, 01 Resolution of the Federal Council of Psychology, 01 Manual of Palliative Care of the National Academy of Palliative Care, 01 Manual of Palliative Care of the Sírio Libanês Hospital, 01 Primer of the Brazilian Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology, 01 thesis. It will record how the patient copes during the journey from the diagnosis of illness to the end of life, as well as the participation and experience of the family, the multi-professional team and in particular the participation of Psychology within this scenario, as it is the scientific field that covers the holistic sphere of the individual, and its premise is to deal with issues involving human relationships, bringing the necessary comfort in the face of this new context of an established disease that will cause the end of existence. In this way, the psychologist is the professional trained to study mental processes, such as feelings, thoughts, behaviors, understanding their subjectivity and, in this context, helping the individual to understand their self in the face of the serious and irreversible clinical state that precedes the proximity of death, resolving outstanding issues with themselves and their families, providing support so that everyone can be at peace at the moment of farewell. Finally, it will discuss the importance of humanized care in PC through the inclusion of a specific subject in the undergraduate courses of health professionals, paying special attention to the field of psychological knowledge since it is the professional who is the protagonist in this scenario.

The patient's perspective on participation in a multidisciplinary team meeting: A phenomenological study.

In mental health care settings, inpatients are increasingly engaged in their care process, allowing them to participate in multidisciplinary team meetings. Research into how mental health patients (MHPs) experience participating in such meetings is, however, limited. This study aimed to explore inpatients' experiences when participating in multidisciplinary team meetings in a Belgian inpatient mental health unit. This study used a phenomenological design with data collection including semistructured interviews. Twelve individuals participated in the study. Participants were MHPs admitted to a mental health unit that works according to the model of recovery-oriented mental health practice. Findings were analysed utilising thematic analysis. Results showed that the MHPs' experiences were mainly positive but intense. Themes included: 'Feeling honoured to be invited', 'Sense of obligation', 'Feeling nervous', 'Transparency in team members' insights', 'Feeling supported by the (primary) nurse' and 'Duality about the presence of relatives'. By taking these findings into account, (mental) healthcare workers gain insight into the patient's lived experiences, allowing them to provide more person-centred care when inpatients participate in multidisciplinary team meetings. Moreover, these findings can support mental health units in implementing or optimising patient participation in multidisciplinary team meetings. Finally, other (mental health) patients can also benefit from these findings as it can help them to put feelings and thoughts into perspective when participating in a multidisciplinary team meeting during a hospital admittance.
